Rasmussen Ran Down By Zapatero's Combo Draw
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Just before the break, a big hand took place on the time-delayed feature table.
Under the gun, Javier Gomez Zapatero had 
and he opened to 25,000. In the hijack, Reino Rasmussen picked up 
and made the call. Behind him, Antoine Saout called with 
. Abel Aspas also made the call in the big blind.
The flop came out 
. Aspas checked, Zapatero checked his combo draw, and Rasmussen bet 65,000. Saout folded, and Aspas called. Back on Zapatero, he check-raised to 150,000. Rasmussen moved all in for 297,000. Aspas got out of the way, but Zapatero made the call to head to a runout with Rasmussen at risk.
The turn was no help in the 
, but a pained Rasmussen watched the 
hit the river to end his tournament and put Zapatero back in the chip lead.
